 LENNON JOHN: (1940-1980) English Musician, a member of The Beatles. A good, unusual signed and inscribed colour candid 3.5 x 4 polaroid photograph of Lennon, the image depicting him seated in a half length pose, wearing his trademark circular spectacles, alongside the disc jockey Alan Smith (also known as 'Brother Love') in the WFIL radio studio in Philadelphia in October 1975 during a weekend fundraising broadcast for the Philadelphia Association of Retarded Children. Signed by Lennon in blue ink to the upper white border, 'To da Brother, love, John Lennon' and dated 1975 in his hand, further adding his familiar doodle of a face in his hand to a clear area of the image. A rare signed photograph. Some very light, extremely minor age wear to the image which detracts little from the appeal of the photograph. VG   Provenance: Accompanied by a lengthy and detailed typed statement of provenance signed by Alan Smith and dated 6th October 2017, recounting the circumstances under which the present photograph was taken and signed, in part, 'In 1975, Jay Cook, the Program Director…..somehow, in conjunction with Capitol Records, convinced John Lennon to join us to 'kick off' the event [the WFIL/PARC fundraising marathon of non-stop music] on Friday afternoon…..John arrived early, hung around talking with all of us getting to know our names, sensing our personalities, deciding who was funny and who wasn't…..Over the next day and a half I spent an inordinate (amount) of time (as did my wife at the time) with him around the studio….He was open and charming, extremely bright…..My wife took the picture in the radio studio while we were on the air and when we were looking at it, he took it from my hand and signed it and drew the little face on it….John left early Sunday morning to return home to go into virtual seclusion from the public eye until 1980….'

Cicero, De Finibus bonorum et malorum, in Latin, a leaf from a fine humanist manuscript on parchment [Italy (variously ascribed to Ferrara, Florence or the Veneto), c. 1460 (variously dated 1456, 1463 and 1466)]single leaf, with single column of 28 lines in a fine humanist hand, capitals starting significant section set off in margin, slight darkening at edges, 2 wormholes and a small brown mark in margins, some modern pencil marks (including fol. nos. ‘6r’ and ‘6v’ and “MS 701”, ie. the Schøyen collection number) and small strip of paper attached to inner edge, else outstanding condition on fine cream-coloured parchment, 253 by 175mm. (written space 156 by 97mm.)Provenance: From a parent manuscript probably once in the Florentine library of Cardinal Archbishop Angelo Niccolini of Pisa (d. 1567; see S. Gwara, Otto Ege’s Manuscripts, 2013, Handlist no 143): other leaves with his ex libris and stamp. The parent manuscript was offered on three occasions by Payne and Foss in London, the last February 1830, no. 1111, where it was acquired by Sir Thomas Phillipps; sold in his sale at Sotheby’s, 17 May 1897, lot 198, returning in 25 July 1900, lot 1132. There it passed to Preston A. Perry, and was subsequently auctioned in New York on 21 April 1908 (lot 269), where acquired by Coella Lindsay Ricketts (d. 1941) and thence to Otto F. Ege, the Cleveland bookseller and biblioclast, who dated it 1463. Ege dispersed it from 1944 onwards, and this leaf was sold by his daughter at Sotheby’s, 26 November 1985, lot 79, thereafter Schøyen collection, sold Christie’s, 10 July 2019, lot 455. Other individual leaves can now be found in Rutgers University in New Brunswick (their MC 1220:04), the Beinecke Library, Yale (their MS. 682) and Phoenix Public Library (their MS. Fragment 40). Another was sold in our rooms, 6 July 2016, lot 38.Text: From a stately humanist manuscript of Cicero’s explanation of the Greek philosophical schools of Epicureanism, Stoicism and the Platonism of Antiochus of Ascalon (d. 68 BC.). It is dedicated to Brutus, the assassin of Julius Caesar, and was written in the summer of 45 BC. It is the least well studied of Cicero’s works. There is no extant ancient or Carolingian exemplar, and the earliest witnesses are those of the eleventh or twelfth century. All Italian copies, including the present fragment, appear to descend from ‘a small book of Cicero’ given to Petrarch by his friend Barbato da Sulmona in Naples, and which circulated among Petrarch’s close associates.

Conveyance of the title and privileges of the Priore d’Urbino to Giovanni Battista Zanchini da Castiglionchio, granted by Ferdinand Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany, grand illuminated manuscript charter in Italian on parchment [Italy (Florence), dated 8 November 1589]large and impressive single sheet document, opening with liquid gold capitals: “NOI FERDINANDO MEDICI” (each letter about 34mm. high), above 37 lines of capitals ruled in liquid gold, with ending of sentences marked off with gilt floral sprays, rows of gilt fleur-de-lys down each side of text, and entire text framed within concentric bands of liquid gold (in outermost layers these laid over turn up at foot to continue striking visual impression), contemporary endorsements at foot including scrawled signature of the Grand Duke, brief endorsements on reverse, cords for lead bulla attachment present but broken, lead bulla with Medici arms also present (but loose with item), natural flaw in parchment hidden by turn up with contemporary patch repair, some folds resulting in small scuffs, else outstanding condition, 487+10 by 740mm.Giovanni Battista Zanchini da Castiglionchio (d. 1590) was a sixteenth-century Florentine senator, who greatly enlarged the Palazzo Zanchini-Corbinelli in Florence. He commissioned a statue of Giasone from Pietro Francavilla, a pupil of Giambologna (now Muzeo Nazionale, Bargello), and is recorded as a substantial art collector by Francesco Bocci’s 1591 guide to Florence. This is most probably his own lavish copy of this grant.
